THE TRAGIC MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS: 1, by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY Poet's Biography First Line: Ah me, if I grew sweet to man Last Line: To bring the honey to the wind. Alternate Author Name(s): Field, Michael (with Edith Emma Cooper) Subject(s): Love; Mary, Queen Of Scots (1542-1587); Mary Stuart | |||
Ah me, if I grew sweet to man It was but as a rose that can No longer keep the breath that heaves And swells among its folded leaves. The pressing fragrance would unclose The flower, and I become a rose, That unimpeachable and fair Planted its sweetness in the air. No art I used men's love to draw; I lived but by my being's law, As roses are by heaven designed To bring the honey to the wind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALAS!
